spring into fleece

Posted on March 05 2015

geek meet chic. we’re not talking pocket protectors in crisp white button-ups. we’re talking about the brand new umano fleece collection: a crewneck sweatshirt, a croptop sweatshirt and track pants. these three styles are the perfect athletic-inspired essentials to transition your closet from the chilly winter air to the oh so sweet spring breeze. our new buttery-soft French terry fleece was developed by brother & co-founder, Jonathan Torrey (aka JT), who spent months working together with our supply chain partners in Turkey. he hand selected the fabrics and dialed in the exact fiber content, texture and yarn count, obsessing over every detail, all so you could feel ridiculously comfortable, yet effortlessly cool in these new wardrobe staples. needless to say, we’re geeking-out over these freakishly-soft, endlessly versatile fleece pieces. so scrap the old idea that sweats are strictly reserved for workouts or lazy days inside, you can now take these updated classics to the streets. and we’ll show you how. first in the lineup is our croptop sweatshirt. with a classic ribbed crewneck, over-sized and seamless short sleeves and an easy, playful, boxy fit we promise your comfort won’t be cropped in this enviable sporty top. a slight midriff baring hem and a thick, yet luxuriously soft fleece make for the ideal in-between seasons top. and don’t fret that this killer top will shrink on you. our fleece fabric is the ultimate rebel against shrinkage. it is made to stretch a little and last a lot. our croptop will quickly become your new wardrobe MVP. down, blue-42, hut-hut-hike! how to style THE ROYALS croptop sweatshirt: balance a sliver of skin with relaxed, distressed boyfriend jeans, lace-up oxfords and a long chain necklace for a laid-back, borrowed from the boys look. next up to bat is our crewneck sweatshirt. with a classic ribbed crewneck, a slight dropped shoulder, tapered long sleeves and a slouchy boyish fit, this elevated sweatshirt knocks your old college hoodie out of the park. we’ve switched things up a bit by trading in our classic chest pocket for custom “quarter-moon” side pockets with a silky smooth, “can’t keep your hands out” lining. our fleece is knitted from thick, high-quality yarns, making this crazy soft and perfectly draped sweatshirt ideal for chilly winter days and cool spring nights. how to style the THE X crewneck sweatshirt: pair with super skinny jeans in a subtle acid wash, leather ankle booties and statement sunnies for a badass too cool for school look. last--but certainly not least--on the starting line are our track pants. debuting our first “pair of legs,” these bottoms will smoke the competition, leaving your tired sweatpants in the dust. our track pants have an easy drop-crotch fit, an adjustable drawstring at the waist, front slit pockets and ribbed ankle cuffs, and are tapered down through the ankle. but where’s the PocketArt you ask? strategically placed on the right back pocket, showcasing a kid’s drawing on the best canvas of all. our fleece is made of a single-ply yarn, which means no pilling problems. it has superior color-fastness so the sleek matte black color won’t fade or wash out. this fabric also has a little extra stretch that will elegantly and effortlessly lay across your body and never hug you too tight (not that tight hugs are a bad thing every now and then). how to style THE EQUALS track pants: throw on a slouchy muscle tee, lace-up ankle boots and a subtle drop chain necklace for a super cool weekend-warrior look. we’re obsessing over our new fleece collection (each and every detail) and we know you will be too. you got the play-by-play rundown, how much more convincing do you need? add these must-have spring styles to your closet’s roster and you’ll score major street style points. touchdown, you! shop the Spring15 fleece collection
